I went from T410s to T440p quad-core to T495, all with Fedora.
So far, I am very happy with the T495 with Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U.
The integrated Vega GPU seems better than the discrete but anemic NVIDIA GPU I had before, even though it is limited to system RAM bandwidth. The GPU driver experience is much better so far, much like with Intel integrated GPUs.
Battery life is far better, with very low idle power usage out of the box while doing everyday work on terminals, Firefox, and wifi. I've never run it down all the way yet, but it seems it would last more than an 8 hour day.
One caveat is that I have not yet attempted to do computational work with the AMD GPU or CPU, so cannot comment on drivers in that regard.
